• Prediction of the Madden–Julian Oscillation: A Review (2018, background): “…affect global weather and climate, acting as a primary source of subseasonal predictability for the global weather and climate system (e.g., Zhang 2005, 2013; Brunet et al. 2010; National Research Council 2010; Lau and Waliser 2011; Zhang et al. 2013; National Academies of Sciences,…”
• Global‐scale convective aggregation: Implications for the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2015, background): “The MJO is the dominant form of tropical intraseasonal variability, but a theory accounting for its major features remains elusive [Zhang, 2005; Zhang et al., 2013].”
• CORRIGENDUM of the MJO Transition from Shallow to Deep Convection in Cloudsat-Calipso Data and GISS GCM Simulations (2012, background): “…for linear equatorial waves, as do other observed convectively coupled equatorial waves (Wheeler and Kiladis 1999), and thus a plethora of theories have been advanced to explain its initiation, propagation direction and speed, vertical structure, and decay (e.g., see the review by Zhang 2005).”
• Satellite Salinity Observing System: Recent Discoveries and the Way Forward (2019, background): “…of satellite SSS enabled a better understanding of large-scale intra-seasonal phenomena (e.g., Subrahmanyam et al., 2018), including the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) – the dominant climate mode at sub-seasonal time scales in the tropics that impacts the global weather and climate (Zhang, 2005).”
• Observed Characteristics of the MJO Relative to Maximum Rainfall (2007, background): “A number of studies have provided valuable insights into the structure and associated physical mechanisms of the MJO [see reviews in Lau and Waliser (2005) and Zhang (2005) ].”
• The ``Year'' of Tropical Convection (May 2008-April 2010): Climate Variability and Weather Highlights (2012, background): “The South American monsoon (SAM) region extends from southern Amazonia and the upper Parana basin, and various studies have identified its characteristics and variability in various time scales (Ramage 1971; Zhou and Lau 1998; Vera et al. 2006; Liebmann et al. 2007; Marengo et al. 2012b).”
• Prediction of the Madden–Julian oscillation with the POAMA dynamical prediction system (2011, background): “dependence in skill, skill may be expected to depend on season because the MJO is usually best defined and strongest in southern summer, while during northern summer its behaviour is complicated by poleward propagation in the Indian monsoon region (e.g., Zhang 2005 ).”
• Scale Interactions between the MJO and the Western Maritime Continent (2016, neutral): “TheMJO is the dominant component of intraseasonal variability in the tropics, consisting of large-scale eastward-moving convective and circulation anomalies that originate over the Indian Ocean and propagate over the MC into the western Pacific with a period of 30–90 days (Zhang 2005).”
• A Global High‐Resolution Mesoscale Convective System Database Using Satellite‐Derived Cloud Tops, Surface Precipitation, and Tracking (2021, background): “Large-scale precipitation systems (duration > 7 days), sometimes associated with the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO; Madden & Julian, 1972; Zhang, 2005), are frequently observed over the Pacific warm pool during DJF (Kerns & Chen, 2020).”
• Evaluation of CMIP6 DECK Experiments With CNRM‐CM6‐1 (2019, background): “, Kelvin, equatorial Rossby, mixed Rossby‐gravity, and inertio‐gravity waves) and the Madden and Julian Oscillation (MJO, Madden & Julian, 1971; Zhang, 2005), still remains a real challenge for most state‐of‐the‐art climate models (Hung et al.”
• Propagation of the Madden–Julian Oscillation through the Maritime Continent and scale interaction with the diurnal cycle of precipitation (2014, background): “Zhang (2005) reported that ‘many sophisticated models’ are unable to produce an MJO signal at all, and those which do produce an eastward-propagating signal suffer from errors including the propagation being too weak or too fast, the spatial distribution and seasonal variation being unrealistic,…”
• The impact of the MJO on clusters of wintertime circulation anomalies over the North American region (2012, background): “The MJO is the primary source of variability at intraseasonal timescales in these tropical regions (Zhang 2005).”
• Advances in Understanding Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Variability from Satellite Observations (2012, background): “Gottschalk and Bell (2009) show that the 200-hPa velocity potential anomaly over this region is positive indicating upper-level convergence and suppressed convection.”
• Surface Fluxes and Tropical Intraseasonal Variability: a Reassessment (2008, background): “In the case of the MJO, however, none of them has been broadly accepted as providing a satisfactory explanation of the essential mechanisms (Zhang 2005; Wang 2005; Waliser 2006).”
